Gorgeous Texans in Washington.

A Texan of some distinction came to
Washington the other day in what was
considered for Washington a shabby
outfit. Coming from Texas he faneied
he was ''got up regardless, " but when
he met mis- old congressional friend the
first thing the latter said was, what

why, what's the matter with you?"
said Tom to the congressman. Il was
up in your county the other day with
this same toggely aboard and they
were going to shoot me for dude.

congressman, "but its very different
here, you know. Look at this" and

Great Jupiterl" exclaimed the new
arrival. amazed ut the extraordinary
cut of the thing; land what do you in
tend to do with that?'
The congressman explained that per-
sonally he was as much opposed to
fobbery and conyentionality as any
body, but that the word had lately
come from Texas that the representa-
tives of the Lone Star State must lick
the best of them in the matter of style
at Washington, in consequence OF
which every Texan now in Washing
ton has provided himself with an even
ing dress, including diamond studs
and patent leather pumps that will

Killing Fowls For Hebrews.

II is not known how many butchers
are interested in the poultry, but every
one in the city who serves conforming
Jewish customers patronizes this place.
Friday is the best day for killing, and
the slaughter begins about o'clock in
the morning. 1t continues then until
all the fowls have tapped their last
flap and most of them have been
carted away to the butcher shops.
Thursday is the next best day in
summer, but in winter time Wednes-
days and Fridays are the great days OF
slaughter. Yesterday 1,160 more or
less fat bipeds had their throat cut at
this sanguinary spot, and to-day 10000
or II 900 have undergone the same pro-
cess. Saturday is the only day in the
week that the big coops are anything
like empty. 1t being the jewish sab
bath butchering is postponed until Sun
day.
One would think that it required Il
good many experienced butchers to
dispatch such a large number of fowls,
but the method of killing is so simple
and rapid that few men can readily
do the work in few hours. Each
butcher or owner of poultry employs
his regular rabbi to do the killing,
and sometimes there are as many as
Twenty-Five working away like beavers
at the necks of chickens, ducks, and
geese in this dead-house of feathery
creation. Eleven rabbis are constant
~ employed. An expert and fast
Killer can easily kill 175 fowls an
hour.
The basement where the slaughter
| ing is done is a room about sixty feet
in depth and thirty wide. Around the
wall are projecting hooks upon which
| the condemned ROSTERS or ganGers
are hung in punches of three. The
birds are always hung up in punches,
with the head downward. The rabbi,
clothed in big leather apron which
envelopes almost the entire body,
stands on the edge of trough into
which the blood from his victim flows,
and neatly does the fated throat-slit-
ting. The knife he uses is of fine
steel, about three inches long in the
| blade, and thin, something like that OF
a shoemaker The butcher Strengthens
out the neck of the bird, carefully
brushes away the feather, and with q
quick movement draws the knife
across the birds neck at the craw. He
then gives it little squeeze to be sure
that the throat is severed, and takes
up another fowl. No stop is made
except to wipe the blade of the knife
when it gets too bloody or to sharpen il
when it gets dull.
Mr.. Charles Wolf, who manages the
place, escorted the reporter about the
building the other morning 1t wa!
about o'clock, and four rabbis were
at work. All of them wore long beard!
and were despatched with the BLOOD
of the fowls they had killed. After
making an incision in the necks thu
birds are left hanging until all th'
blood has dripped out and are thcT
thrown into a wagon and carted away
to the butcher-shop of the owner, to b.
exposed for sale.
In speaking of the business Mr.
Wolf said: "In the summer time We
kill an average of 5000 chickens ;
day, 5000 ducks, 100 turkeys, and / 40'
geese. In winter a great many NOR
turkeys and geese are killed. Tn
rabbi gets l cent for each fowl that h
kills. This is paid to him by tn
butcher. -Nea0 York Sun.

A Delinquent Elephant.

Shortly before our arrival one of the
animals had greatly disgraced himself
by refusing to carry certain weight
OF goods which had been piled on his
back. There is the regulation weight
and the beasts know TO an ounce what
they ought to carry, and if any of the
mahouts attempt to put e surplus
amount on his or then backs it is i'm
mediately shot onto the ground. The
animal in question had been duly laden
with weight which was under the
regulation scale; but although it had
been twice weighed, as Mrs. Gamp
would say, before his own eyes, he
still refused to carry it. This was toe
much for even his indulgent driver, SC
he accordingly reported, and lust as
we arrived he was about to be tried for
his extraordinary and obstinate con-
duct. Several elephants were led out
into large court yard, forming a kind
of circle round the delinquent, who
seemed already to feel his position
acutely, for he glanced anxiously from
time to time at his mahout, who was
visibly affected, and who stood by his
head. A karen presided over the
court-martial and read aloud the in
dictment against the offender, the ele.
plants which constituted the Jury ap-
parently listening with great attention.
After the statement was finished and
the mahout examined, who, by the
way, gave his evidence with great re-
luctance, the karen decided that the
case had been distinctly proved, and
the culprit was adjudged the punish
ment of twenty strokes. Upon the
announcement of the verdict the Jury
marched in a most solemn manner to
distant part of the yard and re-
turned with a switch about as large as
fair sized scaffold pole. In Ike
meantime the mahout had been adj
dressing the offender, who was now
weeping copiously, large drops OF
tears falling from his eyes, aud occa-
sionally shrill and peculiar sound
issued from his capacious throat. The
executioners of the law were at hand,
and stood about twelve to fourteen
feet apart, each balancing with pecu-
! liar nicely in MS trunk the aforesaid
switch. The oulprit was led up to the
| place, and as he passed number one
there was a sound heard which resem-
| bled somewhat sharp clap of thun-
| der; it was the first blow delivered by
the dread myrmidons of the law The
blow was followed by n sharp, shrill
scream, although there was evidently
an attempt Oh the part of the culprit
to suppress any exhibition of pain.
! This punishment continued until the
whole of the sentence had been car
ried cut. Although felt considera-
BILE sympathy with the unfortunate, de-
linqucnt | was at the same time in
tcnsely amused with the thorough
business like air with which these
ministers of justice carried out the
sentence. There were no light blows
delivered; but. as matter of fact,
each elephant determined to admins
ter heavier blow than his neighbor,
and the sly twinkle in the eye as the
blow was delivered was sight to see.
